Wireless security helps keep uninvited people from connecting to your network, so it’s important to use the highest level of security possible. Here are the current options:

WEP – An older security protocol that’s easily broken by hackers.

WPA – Another older protocol that’s no longer considered secure.

WPA2 – Currently, the best choice for wireless security.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is used by many router vendors to make the task of setting up home Wi-Fi easier. Unfortunately, hackers can break into routers where WPS is turned on, so it should be turned off it possible.
